Synology 12-bay SATA expansion unit for RS1619xs+ Synology RX1217RP Drive Enclosure - Infiniband Host Interface Rack-mountable - 12 x HDD Supported - 12 x SSD Supported - 12 x Total Bay - 12 x 2.5"/3.5" Bay

The RX1217RP is a Synology 12-bay expansion unit intended to add drive bays to select Synology rackmount NAS systems; this listing specifically references the RS1619xs+. It links to the host NAS through Synology's dedicated expansion interface, shown in this listing as an InfiniBand host interface, using the expansion cable supplied with the unit. Because expansion-unit compatibility is model- and firmware-dependent, the exact list of supported host NAS models and required DSM version should be confirmed with Bizgram or in Synology's official compatibility documentation before purchase.

It is a rack-mountable enclosure with 12 total drive bays, each accepting 2.5" or 3.5" SATA drives (the listing states 12 x HDD and 12 x SSD supported across 12 x 2.5"/3.5" bays). The "RP" suffix denotes a redundant-power variant. Precise chassis height/depth, rack units and weight are not stated in this listing and should be confirmed from the Synology datasheet or with Bizgram.

Typical setup: mount the unit in a rack, install SATA drives into the 12 hot-swap bays, connect the expansion cable from the host NAS expansion port to the unit, connect the power supply/cords, then power on following Synology's specified order. The host NAS manages the expansion unit's drives as part of its own storage pool/volume structure. Exact cabling order, supported RAID configurations and DSM setup steps should be followed from Synology's documentation, or confirmed with Bizgram.

The warranty term for this unit is not stated in this listing, and warranty duration varies by model and region, so it must not be assumed. Confirm the exact warranty period, RMA process and support entitlement with Bizgram, and refer to Synology's official warranty policy for the RX1217RP. Technical support is generally provided through the manufacturer and/or the reseller channel.

This catalogue entry does not specify condition, packaging state or whether it is new, refurbished or open-box. Condition should be confirmed with Bizgram before ordering. No statement about stock availability is made here.

The RX1217RP uses an AC power input, and the "RP" designation indicates a redundant power supply design, meaning it accepts more than one power connection for failover. Region-specific power cord types and exact input voltage/frequency ratings are not given in this listing and should be confirmed from the Synology datasheet or with Bizgram. The host-connection expansion cable is part of the required cabling between the NAS and the unit.

It adds 12 drive bays to a compatible host NAS, so total raw capacity depends entirely on the number, type and size of SATA drives installed and on the host's supported volume/pool limits. Drive interface speed, the shared bandwidth of the expansion link between host and expansion unit, and recommended drive models are governed by Synology specifications and should be verified in Synology documentation or with Bizgram, since no transfer-rate or maximum-capacity figure is stated in this listing.

No separate operating system is used: the expansion unit is managed by the host NAS through Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM). It does not require an additional software licence, but the host NAS must be running a DSM version that supports the connected expansion unit. The applicable minimum DSM version and any feature limitations should be confirmed with Bizgram or Synology.

A typical Synology expansion-unit package includes the enclosure itself, the host-connection expansion cable, power cord(s), mounting screws and a quick installation guide. Drives are not included, and exact box contents for this SKU should be confirmed with Bizgram because accessory bundles can vary by region and revision.

It is designed for rack installation alongside a compatible Synology rackmount NAS, so it requires a standard equipment rack, mains power and adequate front-to-back airflow and clearance. Recommended operating temperature, humidity, altitude and noise specifications are not given in this listing and should be confirmed from the Synology datasheet or with Bizgram before deployment in a production environment.
